I am testing MaxMSP on the 30 day trial period. I am wondering what the limitations of getting Max For Live are versus getting a standalone version. I would be using it with Live - I wrote a patch that allows me to change the midi channels on incoming signals from my FCB1010 pedal, I want to use the Nomome app to run monome apps with my Launchpad.

Will I be able to run these? Does Max4Live provide the virtual MaxMSP MIDI ports?

Thanks, really wish there was a trial version of M4L, that would make this easier.

maxmsp-standalone-vs-m4l

i do not understand. why do you not read the clear and available documentation on the subject both online and in the docs rather than wasting your time writing a post to the forums?

(you will be able to run your little patch in the max runtime forever. just not edit it. however, if you have m4l you will still be able to edit it. m4l is exceptionally cheap for what you get).

sorry, i have read a lot online, but i'm very new to MaxMSP so only a fraction of it makes sense to me at this point.

So I downloaded Max for Live, and I still have this remaining question - can I process MIDI info before it goes to map mode? It seems easy to process midi after it is in Live with Max for Live, but I want to change the incoming MIDI data before going to map mode to extend my controllers.

"MIDI input arrives from Live and MIDI output is sent to Live."

However, this restriction can be overcome with Leigh Hunt's externals (Mac only).

This patch has the extension .mxo - I'm not sure how to open it, doesn't seem to open in Max5 or Max for Live.

first of all, apologies for irritable response earlier on. no idea why i was such a douchebag.

secondly, it seems to me that you really should learn / get to grips with max / m4l BEFORE attempting to use third party externals.

thirdly, what are third party externals? they are max objects coded in C made by people other than cycling 74, such as the (brilliant) leigh hunt midi externals mentioned by broc above. in order to use them in max and / or m4l you must install them into the max search path. they are not files you can load by 'double-clicking' on.

4, what is the max search path? it is basically the folder max is in, as well as file preferences of max, but you don't wanna go messing it up too much. basically, study max until you know how to install and use such externals and then you will be fine. this really will not take you long at all.

thanks - learning more and more every hour
